Barcelona, Bayern qualify for semi-finals


Barcelona qualified for the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday after holding Paris Saint-Germain to a 1-1 draw and confident Bayern Munich completed Juventus job in the quarter-final second leg at Camp Nou.

Barcelona survived a huge scare from PSG to qualify for the Champions League semi-finals for the sixth successive season on away goals after a 1-1 draw at the Camp Nou.

The 2-2 draw between the pair in last week's quarter-final first leg had handed the advantage to the Catalans, but with star player Lionel Messi only starting the return as a substitute due to a hamstring injury, they seemed nervous throughout and PSG deservedly went in front just after half-time through Javier Pastore.

However, with Messi summoned from the bench, Pedro fired home 19 minutes from time to send Barca into the last four.


Second-half goals by Mario Mandžukić and Claudio Pizarro enabled FC Bayern München to defeat Juventus 2-0 for the second time in eight days and reach the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

The German title winners dealt capably with the threat of a willing Juventus side in the first half, and soon after Arjen Robben struck a post in the second, Mandžukić headed in from close range on 64 minutes to end any prospect of an unlikely quarter-final comeback.
